Any good attorney should be able to argue both sides of a case, right?! Undeniably, I’m an advocate of online dating; I even wrote a blog piece on the benefits that flow therefrom 5 Reasons Why Online Dating Works but I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that there are some real challenges that come from trying to find love on the infamous internet.
I ran into all kinds while trying to find someone I’d be compatible with. Thankfully, my online dating horror stories are in my rearview and are now even considered laughable but there were several times I thought I would give up on my quest to find love. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find my life partner; but truth be told it wasn’t easy and it took a whole lot of patience, patience I didn’t even know I had.
Physical Disparity
Anyone who has ever attempted online dating will tell you that the physical disparity that exists between a lot of potential suitors profile pictures and the actual suitor himself/herself is so common that one must always have their guard up. This happened to me countless times.
Take, for example, the seemingly attractive English professor, who in his description of himself stated that he was a fitness buff, who ran 5 miles every day and was keen on kale and every other healthy food out there. We decided to meet for dinner one evening after work and I made sure to wear black since black is a slimming color and this guy was such a health nut I wanted to show off my healthiest, svelte physique.
When I entered the restaurant I searched the bar several times looking for the sexy, toned, lean professor. We had agreed to meet at the bar and he had texted me that he was already there. I stood there thinking for a quick second that I had been catfished when a guy, who easily weighed at least 400 pounds turned around, his eyes met mine, and he smiled at me with some recognition. Oh dear God!!! This couldn’t be English professor guy, who ran 5 miles every day. Half this guy’s backside was hanging off the bar stool. Nooooo!!!
English professor guy had grossly exaggerated his healthy habits. As I sat across from him, while he chowed down on his dinner of fatty pork chops soaked in gravy I realized that the profile picture he had up on the dating site was, in fact, really him; both the profile picture and the guy in front of me had the same eyes, nose, and mouth but the photo he used was obviously taken at least a decade ago.
Here’s the thing, if you’re going to venture into the world of online dating please use a recent picture, like maybe one only weeks old or even only a few months old. It makes no sense pretending to be the guy or gal you were 10 thousand years ago. People are attracted to what they’re attracted to. I strongly believe that there is someone out there for everyone, and online dating is supposed to help us initially weed out who or want we don’t want.
We Like What We Like
It is such a colossal waste of time to tell untruths and pretend to be someone you’re not or pretend to be interested in something you’re not in order to try to get someone to go out with you; and for the record, I’m not a health nut and I enjoy pork chops but I am attracted to a guy who takes care of himself, even in a minimalist manner.
So here is the reverse – At another time I started chatting with another guy during my life partner search and hit it off with a biker guy, who worked on Wall Street. He was intelligent and funny and for a few weeks, we talked until we decided on a time convenient to both of us for our first date. We had really good conversations.
I was looking forward to meeting Biker Wall Street guy and was painstakingly picking out my outfit for that evening’s date when he called. The conversation started off light and easy when he suddenly said, “I’m over here looking at your profile pictures and I can’t really tell.”
“Tell what?” I asked. I was a bit confused.
“Your bra size.” He said without hesitation.
“My what?” I knew I had heard correctly because he spoke clearly and concisely, but I was in disbelief.
“What’s your bra size?” He asked.
“Huh? Wait! What! What did you just ask me?”
“I only date double ds or girls with at least a D cup.” He said.
For a few seconds, I really didn’t know what to say. Whoa! I wasn’t prepared for this one. After the uncomfortable pause, he asked again my bra size and then explained what his preference was and that he “liked what he liked”. He didn’t want to waste “his time or mine”.
Well! Well! Well! What was I going to say to that? The truth is that based on the several meaningful conversations I had with Biker Wall Street guy, there was a point when he was calling daily, I felt a sort of connection. I liked his wit and intellect but the reality is that at that moment I was so turned off. I wasn’t about to reveal my bra size to this guy.
Biker Wall Street guy and I never made it to our first date and that was our very last conversation. Admittedly, I was initially peeved about the situation and went into the entire “how dare him” spiel with my girlfriends but the reality is that the guy liked what he liked.
Unsolicited Dick Pic
I have heard that these days the unsolicited dick pic has become somewhat of the norm, but back in my day, when I was first doing online dating, it really didn’t happen that much, or maybe it just didn’t happen to me; however, it was only a matter of time.
I hadn’t even had a real conversation with “Sweet Sal” (that was his profile name) when I got the unsolicited dick pic from him. Sweet Sal looked like a real gentleman in his profile picture, he was wearing a tuxedo and had the cutest little girl hugging him in that photo, who I later found out was his niece and that the picture was taken a couple of months earlier at his sister’s wedding. We exchanged a few emails followed by our phone numbers.
Sweet Sal didn’t call, he just text. At the time, that wasn’t my favorite mode of communication but I figured what the hell. I swear Sweet Sal and I may have exchanged only a dozen or so text messages when boom he sent me a picture of his penis. I was stunned! There was absolutely nothing in our very short text exchange that warranted an unsolicited picture of that nature. Unbelievable! I guess Sweet Sal wasn’t so sweet after all.
After several minutes when I didn’t respond to Sweet Sal picture he dared to text me asking; “So what do you think?”
“Is that all you’re working with?” Was the only insulting thing I could think of saying. I proceeded to block Sweet Sal from further contact with me and that was the end of that.
There was also the guy who showed up to meet me, who had a severe limp, one leg was literally shorter than the other. He spent the entire date sobbing and complaining about the freak accident that led to this limp, which happened when he was 12 years old, the guy was in his 40s and still detested his childhood friend that caused the accident.
I sympathized with the guy, believe me, I did; but he might have mentioned his “shortcomings”, no pun intended, during our telephone conversations. Plus, when was he going to stop being the victim? It had been 3 decades since the doctors saved his leg, you’d think he’d be thankful he still had the leg but instead, he wanted to spend an entire first date bemoaning an accident that happened 30 years ago.
There are so many stories I could share but I will save some for later. Who knows maybe one day I’ll write a part 2.😃 Truth is online dating is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna to get. 😁
In the midst of it all, while you’re going through the miserable, unpleasant dates, out of the blue s/he will show up. The one who, in the beginning, you were sure you’d meet, but during the horrors, you forgot even existed. The one who will smile so gently and warmly at you you’d swear s/he is too good to be true. The one who will laugh at all your corny jokes, ask you how your day was and take a genuine interest in your reply and make you feel like the very special person your Mom always said you were. The one who will be worth your time and all your effort. All it takes is patience, lots and lots of patience!

Oh-Em-Gee, Rakkelle, you are an amazing writer and this post had me cracking up all three times I’ve read it. I always re-read when things tickle me, because in my mirth I certainly don’t want to miss anything.
The dick pic story was the absolute best, I too, prior to dating my amazing and gentlemanly husband, got my fair share. First and foremost, penises are the most ridiculous looking things on the planet and men think that their own is the Holy freaking Grail. When my husband and I were dating (we agreed to wait six months before being intimate) at some point near the time that the six months was coming to an end, I had to sit him down and tell him about my unusual reaction to seeing penises. I thought it would bode better for him to know this in advance rather than me breaking out in a fit of giggles when he got undressed in front of me the first time. Even with him being forewarned, he still got a bit pissed off when I laughed, the more huffy he became the harder I laughed until I had tears streaming down my face as I sat there butterball naked as the day I was born. Obviously I was something of a sight myself because after a moment he understood the hilarity of the whole situation and fell out laughing himself. At that moment we weren’t Naked and Afraid, we were Naked and Laughing hysterically. I immediately knew he was the one💕💕

I didn’t meet him online, although that is how our paths crossed again 25 years later. Actually we went to high school together. He was a jock and an “A lister,” I was shy and bookish. We were friends but I fell head over heels for him but was too nervous to breathe a word of it to him or anyone. We both married a couple of times, were raising kids and had hit our 40’s convinced this was rock bottom as far as love and relationships went. One day he friend requested me on Facebook, we DM’d a couple of times, exchanged numbers and the rest is history.

She’s totally wise and on point but she’s also absolutely hysterical. I just read a lengthy article on Tyler Perry and learned not only is he from New Orleans (I was born, raised and currently reside in Baton Rouge) that he was also viciously physically abused as I was as a child. He didn’t graduate high school but got his GED and shortly thereafter saw an episode on Oprah about using writing as an outlet to deal with the aftermath of his childhood trauma.
Journaling to himself is how he got his start.
I’ve always absolutely loved him (this one man is worth a million Justin Biebers) but these are little snippets of his early life I never knew. What an amazing soul. Every child should look up to this man as a role model.
